Default Time to do something. Headers?

My 86 w/the minor mods it has probably pushes 250-260hp. I want to add something, not only add hp but look nice. Maybe chrome headers? How about some ideas? Nothing to crazy. Thanks

I was planning on getting headers for mine. My buddy was going to set me up with some next month, but my tranny just went out. :( No headers for me. :(

Long tubes will probalby hurt you. Some shorties won't help much but they loog good and are way lighter.

Get some Hooker headers, either the 2149 or 2151.
It will add approx 10-15hp.

Anything you get, either buy it coated or send them to Jet Hot. They are coating my SLP shorties for 143.00. They will never rust, and will flow more smoothly / evacuate the heat better by keeping it inside the header instead of radiating it out into the engine bay. Not much HP really, but they look nice, and when combined with some High flow cats, it makes for a good job done right. :cheers:
